  • Painting Description

    "Small Passion 16. Christ before Herod" is a woodcut by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, part of his "Small Passion" series, which consists of 36 woodcuts depicting the Passion of Christ. Created in 1511, this series is one of Dürer's most significant religious works and showcases his mastery of the woodcut medium. The "Small Passion" is smaller in scale compared to his earlier "Large Passion" series, but it is no less impactful in its detailed and expressive representation of the biblical narrative.

    The sixteenth woodcut in the series, "Christ before Herod," illustrates the episode from the Passion where Jesus is brought before Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. According to the Gospel of Luke, Herod had long desired to see Jesus, hoping to witness a miracle, but Jesus remained silent in his presence. Dürer's depiction captures the moment of confrontation, with Herod's curiosity and Jesus' composure both evident in their expressions and postures.

    Dürer's work is characterized by its intricate detail and emotional depth, which is evident in the fine lines and careful composition of this woodcut. The figures are rendered with a sense of volume and texture that is remarkable for the woodcut medium, and the artist's use of light and shadow adds to the dramatic effect of the scene. The woodcut also reflects Dürer's knowledge of human anatomy and his skill in portraying a variety of human emotions, from Herod's inquisitiveness to the solemnity of Christ.

    "Small Passion 16. Christ before Herod" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical prowess but also to his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. The woodcut is an important work within the context of the "Small Passion" series and Dürer's oeuvre as a whole, offering insight into the religious and artistic climate of early 16th-century Europe.
